    actually, looking at some web sites, there seem to be some who think that a new powerbook will be coming out in a month or so

    in which case, I should probably wait for it, if I am going powerbook

      why are you so stuck on dell or alienware(for tech support?)? look at these urls -

      http://www.resellerratings.com/ - great site which customers comment/rate businesses

      http://www.resellerratings.com/seller1867.html - dell lifetime rating of 4.67, which has gotten worse as they got bigger i think
      http://www.resellerratings.com/seller1650.html - alienware lifetime rating of 8.06, looks solid
      http://www.resellerratings.com/seller2079.html - monarch computer systems lifetime rating of 9.30. i hear good things about them and they are rated really well plus they seem much cheaper which probably explains half of why they are rated so high.

      voodoo was above 9 too but they are way more expensive.

        What speaks against Athlon?

          Athlon's are still better right now, overall

            Especially since Intel really screwed the pooch on their next chip.
            No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

              I always thought Athlon was the cheaper chip, and less games support them?

                That makes no sense.

                Athlons and Pentiums run the same code.

                Athlons are cheaper and faster right now...

                  He is basically thinking about 6 years ago or so when the other chips first came on the scene. The early chips were not always entirely compatible, but were mostly so (and AMD was a lot better than Cyrix).

                  Currently, AMD is better than Intel.

                    My limited knowledge finally caught up to me. So you would recommend getting an Athlon?

                        It seems to me that Athlon has lower frequency though...

                            The frequency doesn't matter that much. You should know that sense you buy mac.

                              People are always saying that. It's probably wishful thinking. However, it is almost certain that new Powerbooks will be released at January's Macworld Expo (it's the only line that hasn't had a big update recently). There's a good chance that they will be G5 Powerbooks in which case they will definitely be worth a look.

                                True. I was just thinking, once I buy a PC I might as well max out on it.
